Demonic Toys

Director Peter 'Eliminators' Manoogian's majestically mayhem-packed, antisocial automaton fight-fest 'Demonic Dolls' (1992) remains a perennial Full Moon fan favourite for zealously including so many of the more outrageously eccentric B-Movie tropes! We get to enjoy the boisterously bedevilled travails of righteously butt-kicking, skell-crushing, sweet-lookin' Cop Judith Gray (Tracey Scoggins) and her seriously snotty, wise-crackin' punk sidekick (Bentley Mitchum) doing bellicose battle against hellacious hordes of wantonly warehouse-trashing, tripped-out terror-toys in one of the more magnificently monkey-nutso, hell raising Pizza n' fear, midnight-movie offerings from those delightfully disreputable perpetrators of perversely gloopy grindhouse perfidy, Full Moon Entertainment!

This 1992 horror film features a female cop, Judith Gray (Tracy Scoggins) who chases a pair of criminals into a toy warehouse after they killed her partner. Soon, Judith and others become terrorized by possessed toys and Judith's unborn baby is targeted to be the vessel for demonic possession. This is cheesy, but amusing, Scoggins is good in it and the effects aren't bad.

Demonic Toys is currently available for free on Tubi and a series I've wanted to watch for a little while (and promised Edward Delgado I would lol). The storyline evolves around a demon spirit that can leap into various hosts, including toys, and make them do his bidding. The script was actually very entertaining, the voices they selected were good, and the kill scenes were excellent. The acting was just okay and the cast includes Tracy Scoggins (Babylon 5), Jeff Celentano (Puppet Master) and Peter Schrum (Terminator 2, Trancer and Night Court). This movie is directed by Peter Manoogian (Arena, DevilDolls and Seedpeople) who did a pretty solid job. Is this movie an all time horror classic? Definitely not. But is it worth watching and a fun popcorn flick? Absolutely. I'd give this a 6.5/10.

After an arms deal gone bad, a policeman is shot and the arms traffickers head into a toy warehouse followed by policewoman Tracy Scoggins. The toys in this warehouse suddenly become alive due to demonic possession that is explained by the demon himself. Of course only the toys that have long razor sharp teeth and can be made to look like they are attacking people as an evil hand puppet, come to life. There is a fairly good cast of characters. Special effects are not that great, but we've seen worse. The toys have some great lines and it comical watching humans struggle against the attack of a small toy. The demonic thing with kids was a bit hokey and didn't work that well, but we watch it for Baby Oopsy-Daisy. Tracy Scoggins dropping the F-bomb, nudity (Playboy's Kristine Rose), Tracy tied down spread eagle.

"Demonic Toys" is a curious mixture of gore and cheesiness - in about equal measures. In fact, this film epitomizes cheesiness: stupid plot, uneven effects, mostly terrible acting (save for leading lady Tracy Scoggins, who is too awesome-looking for her acting to matter anyway), and dialogue laced with lame puns ("You messed up my make-up"!). But the gore is pretty extreme and over-the-top (the dolls rip off huge chunks of flesh from the faces of their victims). It's a bad film, but tolerable IF you're in the right mood.....(*1/2)

As a fan of Full Moon pictures, this movie could have been a little better. Although it is a fun movie to watch. The characters are so cheesy this movie can't possibly be dissapointing. The toys look ridiculous but are funny none the less. I like the line uttered my Oopsie dasiy baby when kicked in the face. "Bummer!" If you like cheesy movies, then get this movie, cuz it can't get any more cheesier.

This is a fun little movie about a child demon who possesses toys to do his evil bidding, which normally entails killing everyone in sight. The toys were all well handled, especially the foul mouthed babydoll, as there is plenty to like about this film. Tracy Scoggins plays a tough cop who becomes trapped in a warehouse chasing after the criminal that killed her partner. While inside, she finds out that the crook might not be her biggest problem. Throw in a dirty orphan who crawls through the stores vents, and an angst ridden delivery boy, well played by Robert Mitchum's grandson Bentley, and you have an entertaining little film. This film doesn't try to make a statement or change the world, it was made solely to entertain, and it doesn't fail in that regard.
